  1. I thoroughly recommend Silent Hill 2. It's not scary in the sense of things jumping out at you. Instead, in true SH style, it messes with your head and really affects you with its oppressie atmosphere. There's a bit near the start where you enter the first 'big area' (the apartments); outside it's quite bright despite the fog and noisy due to the monsters etc.

     

    As soon as you enter the apartments it's incredibly dark and COMPLETELY silent.

     

    I'm not a fan of horror games generally (because I'm a wimp :3) but I stuck this game out until the end. Definitely worth playing for the story alone!

     

    I also heard that SH3 is damn good but after watching a couple of trailers, I pooped myself :D


  2. -D.I.D. is rubbish, mainly because they use auto-tune-

    Bull. They hardly EVER use auto-tune, plus they're freaking awesome!

    In any case I don't see what the big deal is with auto-tune. Sure, it can sound rubbish sometimes, but so can screaming, growling and (especially in VK land) singing! It actually works sometimes but no one but me seems to be aware of this?!


  3.  I listened to it a couple of times and it failed to impress me. No complaints about the performance level but the songs are pretty boring and repetitive. I know they can do better than this.

     

    This sums the single up perfectly for me. It's really strange; I usually love NoGoD's singles, including the B-Sides. However, none of these new tracks really blew me away. Frontier has some nice ideas but it doesn't really go anywhere; I was more impressed/excited by the trailer than the actual song.


  4. Unfortunately I have to disagree with the above review. I love the band to pieces, even songs like Utsushiyo Horrowshow and Stand Up! (which everyone seems to hate for some reason). However I found this single to be a disappointment.

    As predicted for NoGoD, the guitar work is fantastic and this rings true for all three songs. However, the drumming is so repetitive. I don't know whether they increased the volume of the drums especially for this single but it got kind of annoying for me. There weren't as many interesting flourishes as found in other songs and I just found it ruining the songs. Also Karin's intricate bass lines were nonexistent which is a real shame.

    Although Frontier was pretty good, the single as a whole sounds really generic and there isn't really anything other than the guitar work to render it interesting. It pains me to say it as I love the band; it's just that this new release is kind of bland to me. Maybe it will grow on me the more I listen to it but for now it's pretty generic sounding.


  5. -Now that i've listened to VK, everything else in the world is craptastic-

    Just no. VK is amazing but there's also a lot of crap; the same goes for all music. Just because VK is exotic and different, it doesn't make it superior by default.

    I hate it when people say that ALL Western music sucks because it simply doesn't. Plus, where do you think most VK gets its influences from?

    Both sides of the world have good and bad music...although VK has a much higher percentage of good bands to me :P
